The Mexican War (1846-1848) was the US.
Army's first experience waging an extended conflict in a foreign land. This
brief war is often overlooked by casual students of history since it occurred
so close to the American Civil War and is overshadowed by the latter's sheer
size and scope. Yet, the Mexican War was instrumental in shaping the
geographical boundaries of the United States. At the conclusion of this
conflict, the US. had added some one million square miles of territory,
including what today are the states of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and
California, as well as portions of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada. This
newly acquired land also became a battleground between advocates for the
expansion of slavery and those who fought to prevent its spread. These
sectional and political differences ripped the fabric of the union of states
and eventually contributed to the start of the American Civil War, just
thirteen years later. In addition, the Mexican War was a proving ground for a
generation of US. Army leaders who as junior officers in Mexico learned the
trade of war and latter applied those lessons to the Civil War.


 

The Mexican War lasted some twenty-six
months from its first engagement through the withdrawal of American troops.
Fighting took place over thousands of miles, from northern Mexico to Mexico
City, and across New Mexico and California. During the conflict, the US. Army
won a series of decisive conventional battles, all of which highlighted the
value of US. Military Academy graduates who time and again paved the way
for American victories. The Mexican War still has much to teach us about
projecting force, conducting operations in hostile territory with a small force
that is dwarfed by the local population, urban combat, the difficulties
of occupation, and the courage and perseverance of individual soldiers. The
following essay is one of eight planned in this series to provide an accessible
and readable account of the US. Army's role and achievements in the conflict.
